Re: No surprise to me

Porting a number does not cost anything. There is really no labor involved, it is just a ploy to prevent you from leaving.

Re: No surprise to me

obviously you don't know what you are talking about, there is labor involve some one actually needs to seat behind a computer and do it, that is labor and that person needs to get paid, but regarless $40 seem kind of high but as long as they tell customer about these charges I don't see the problem no one is force to swicht and if you are willing to pay the fee swicht if not then don't

Yeah, it probably costs them 47 cents.

And it probably costs them more to bill for the $40 than it does to actually port the number.

The actual LNP cost is in $10-25 range.
